St. Walburg is a town in west-central Saskatchewan's prairie region on Highway 26. St. Walburg is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte No. 501. The Bronson Provincial Forest is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the north.

The community is named for the wife of the first postmaster, but also to honour Saint Walpurga, an 8th century English nun educated by the Benedictines, who was canonized for a life dedicated to evangelical work among the German people.
